"This coach exhibits a stark lack of genuine care for the athletes under his guidance, prioritizing the business aspect of coaching over their well-being. While every coach may face ups and downs, it appears that the downs have outweighed the ups in his case, raising questions about his suitability for a leadership role within an all-girls program. Perhaps a different environment, such as not coaching at all, needs to be looked into and explored. His coaching style seems to revolve around pushing athletes to their breaking point, with little regard for their physical or mental limits. When athletes fail to meet his expectations, he resorts to placing blame on them rather than reflecting on his coaching methods. Despite claiming to value academics and mental health, his actions speak otherwise, as he fails to support athletes dealing with issues outside of swimming, bringing them down instead of lifting them up. It's disheartening to note that he views his athletes merely as part of his job, lacking genuine concern for their personal growth and well-being. His tendency to make inappropriate comments both publicly and behind the scenes further illustrates a disregard for the athletes' dignity and respect. Additionally, his failure to acknowledge the challenges faced by college students, expecting them to prioritize swimming above all else, is concerning. After years of observation, it becomes apparent that his personality as a caring coach is merely a fake show. The disconnect between his public image and his true character raises doubts about his suitability for the role of head coach. Ultimately, it's imperative to prioritize the development and well-being of athletes, qualities that seem to be lacking in this coach's approach."

"Neil is a true SEC coach. He is old timey sometimes so yes he has gotten better about what he says and how he says it. He wants hard work and effort and in return will be a great person/coach. He is a true SEC level coach and anybody who has left can’t handle the SEC level, great person and cares a lot about family "

"Has no idea ever what’s going on with his athletes or staff. Acts completely inappropriately. Would give 0 stars if I could. "
